In my book A mouse should be 3 buttons, 3 potentiometers, 7 wires, a plug and a plastic box. Worse that can happen is a short connecting all wires together - then nothing bad happens to the computer. Nothing! The PS/2 DIN was already doing more than I wanted, bi-directional communication is already more than you need to make the device work. Perhaps there are exotic mice to be had that deserve to communicate over USB, with elaborate drivers and all the trimmings. Internet connectivity, bootloaders, flashing leds etc. Ofc you would have to have an USB port to use those which can be undesirable You can plug anything into those. Next the user will download software from the internet and install it. Wild concept. lol
